Wacky body kits and oversized alloys, sometimes combined with flashy interiors, do not suit most cars, especially Rolls-Royces. Fortunately, this Spectre doesn’t feature any ridiculous upgrades, as the aftermarket work that went into it has made it a more eye-catching ride.
Can you spot the novelties? You are correct if you said it doesn’t have any chrome elements anymore, as they were blacked out post-production. The grille slats have a black chrome look for a bit of contrast, though we wouldn’t have minded an all-black design, and the new 24-inch alloys, which look like they came straight from the Goodwood car manufacturer’s portfolio, round up the makeover with a brush smoked finish.
Mind you, most Rolls-Royces, including the Spectre, look great on a handful of aftermarket wheels, and RDB LA has certainly nailed the design of the pictured copy. The average Joe probably cannot tell what’s new on this vehicle, and that’s always a win in the tuning book. Fans and owners of the model, however, will instantly tell you that it has an aftermarket whiff to it, and most of them will certainly like the revamped design. We know we do!

Those fortunate enough to have driven the Rolls-Royce Spectre have praised it for its ultra-quiet and highly comfortable ride. The electric recipe suits the British luxury brand like a glove, as Rolls-Royces have always been as quiet as a church. This model’s performance is certainly not bad at all for something that weighs roughly 6,600 pounds (almost 3 tons), as it takes only four and a half seconds to zip to 60 miles an hour (97 kph) from rest, or about as fast as a stock Mercedes-AMG G 63, which features a 577-horsepower (585 ps/430 kW) 4-liter bi-turbo V8.
But how punchy is Rolls-Royce’s first-ever electric vehicle? It enjoys a combined 664 pound-feet (900 Nm) of torque and 567 brake horsepower (575 ps/430 kW) from its bi-motor setup. Like all modern-day Rolls-Royces and some old ones, the Spectre costs a small fortune. The 2024 model year kicks off at over $420k in the United States, and modified copies, including Mansory’s flashy takes on this model, tend to value much more than that. Therefore, if this one was for sale, we reckon it would be well over half a million dollars.
So, if you had that much cash lying around, would you spend it all on the Rolls-Royce Spectre?
